Since the first moments when European settlers came to North America, you would find adventurers or explorers riding horses. Las Vegas horseback tours can take you all the way back to the days of discovery and the beginning of the wild West. There is nothing available in the world today that can take you from the ultra modern world back in time quite like this.

Just picture yourself cantering out at sunrise for a genuine cowboy breakfast in the dusty wastelands in much the same way as the first settlers did centuries ago. One of the most popular trails in this area is the old Spanish route which was used by many outlaws in the past.

With so much to tell you about the places around Las Vegas and the history, you are bound to hear some excellent narrative. Your tour guide may tell you about how famous outlaws used the area to avoid justice or about the many canyons and their history. If you were to visit Vegas and only do the strip then you would be sadly missing out if you didn’t have a horseback tour.

Forget about getting up at dawn for cowboy breakfast if that isn’t your thing. You can take a sunset tour instead and watch the sun go down from the top of a canyon rim. There are few experiences in the world that can be as spiritual and can touch you deep inside. Something like this is extremely romantic or shared with family it is a lifelong memory that is hard to beat.

The scenery is something that is hard to beat but there is also the wildlife to consider. Wildlife that you can only really get close to on horseback. There are a number of creatures that survive the harsh landscape including Big Horn Sheep, Jack Rabbits and Road Runners that are all worth taking a photograph of. That is not all though, as you will most likely come across wild Burros roaming around.

You can imagine the native American people using the burrows hundreds of years ago just as the European settlers did after them. This is a really excellent way to forget about the card tables and escape the rat race by leaving it on the strip.

There are some tour operators that will have pickups arranged from places on the strip. So you won’t have to find your way to the desert ranches alone. You’ll then be dropped back off at the same place after your experience.

If what you’re looking for is a once in a lifetime event that is capable of touching you deep down in your soul then Las Vegas Horseback tours are for you. It’s a chance to live out a role for short while without really having to exert yourself in any great way. How many people do you know can say they have done anything remotely similar?
